Chapter 174 A Wife is Priceless
Wow! In a matter of minutes, it's 246,000 plus 30,000, which is 90,000 yuan! The men were stunned. There was no reason not to make money when there was money to be made.
So they immediately betrayed Sophie.
Yan Zuozuo stared at Chi Moqing as he wrote the check, and it took her a long time to come to her senses. "What is she trying to do?"
"They said you were a prostitute and gave us money to have some fun. Pah! Turns out we'd been played by that bitch. Don't worry, girl, we'll get revenge for you right now. Good brothers, true loyalty!"
Yan Zuozuo's breath hitched, and she stared blankly at Chi Moqing, "I have no grudge against her, why would she do this?"
"She said she's been looking down on you for a long time and wants us brothers to teach her a lesson." Before Chi Moqing could speak, the loud-voiced thug immediately replied.
Ninety thousand yuan, wow, of course I'll take their money and tell them everything.
Chi Moqing glared at him, then took out her phone and dialed Su Kang's number. "Get to Yifang Seafood within twenty minutes, or if something happens to Su Fei, don't blame me for not holding back!"
Su Kang received Chi Moqing's call, his face turned ashen, and he rushed over immediately.
Just then, the thug's phone rang. It was Sophie calling to ask how things were going.
Chi Moqing narrowed his cold eyes: "Tell her it will be done soon."
The thug was very obedient; he quickly lied to Sophie and swiftly hung up the line.
Chi Moqing glanced down at Yan Zuozuo, pulled her into his arms, and asked, "What do you want me to do with her?"
Yan Zuozuo bit her lip and remained silent. "An eye for an eye" was what Chi Moqing had just said, but if that were the case, Su Fei would be completely finished. As a woman, she really couldn't bring herself to be ruthless.
In less than twenty minutes, Su Kang appeared in his Mercedes-Benz. Chi Moqing's extravagant spending had already attracted a lot of attention, and now that another dignified man in a Mercedes-Benz had appeared, the crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger.
Upon seeing Chi Moqing, Su Kang quickly apologized, but Chi Moqing interrupted him, "These are all witnesses. I think President Su won't disappoint me in deciding how to deal with your sister." After saying that, he whispered in Yan Zuozuo's ear, "Let's go back."
Yan Zuozuo glanced at Su Kang, nodded, and left. As she passed by Su Kang, she heard Chi Moqing say, "President Su, thank you for the meal. I hope to receive a satisfactory answer first thing tomorrow morning."
"Please rest assured, President Chi, I will handle this well," Su Kang said with a cool expression.
Just then, Sophie burst in, yelling, "What are you all dawdling about? You're taking so long to catch a woman? Haven't you eaten?"
However, Sophie regretted her outburst immediately, because she saw Su Kang was also there, and she turned to run away in fright. But Su Kang grabbed her arm: "Come back with me!"
Sophie tried to break free from his grip, angrily saying, "It's none of your business! Go home and serve your vixen wife! Let me go, or I'll go back and tell Mom and Dad!"
Su Kang frowned, a flash of anger crossing his mind. "Do you think your parents will still protect you after they find out all the mess you've done?"
Sophie stiffened, but still spoke forcefully, "What did I do? If it weren't for your shameless wife, would I be like this? And this woman, if it weren't for her, I would have already dealt with that bitch Fu Zixin..."
"Slap!" A sharp and loud slap rang out, and Sophie's face immediately swelled up. She looked at Su Kang in disbelief, her eyes brimming with tears, "You hit me?"
Su Kang's face was ashen: "Over the years, I've spoiled you rotten. I won't let you off so easily this time! Come with me!" He grabbed Su Fei, nodded apologetically to Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo, and then got into the car.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, the group of thugs scratched their heads and asked, "Should we still deal with that woman?"
Yan Zuozuo's face darkened. Chi Moqing said coldly, "It's up to you whether you want to or not. Just don't let me see you again!" After saying that, he took Yan Zuozuo and left, leaving a noisy commotion behind them.
It was almost ten o'clock when they came out of the restaurant, and the nightlife on the streets was already incredibly vibrant. Yan Zuozuo walked forward quietly, hand in hand with Chi Moqing. How long had it been since they had taken a proper stroll and enjoyed such tranquility?
The two continued walking, and Yan Zuozuo suddenly sighed, "Speaking of which, Su Fei's current state is more or less related to Zixin. It's a pity to see her like this."
Chi Moqing paused: "Everyone has their own karma to bear, or maybe she just couldn't see things clearly."
Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips. Although she said that, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable. After a while, she said in a low voice, "I'm sorry for always causing you trouble."
"Silly girl." Chi Moqing rubbed her head. "We're an old married couple. If the children heard us saying these things, they would think we're not loving at all."
Yan Zuozuo was speechless: "Your son is not even six months old yet, how could he understand?"
“Maybe my son is a genius,” Chi Moqing said proudly, earning a roll of her eyes from Yan Zuozuo. As if remembering something, she asked, “What do you think Su Kang will do with Su Fei?”
Chi Moqing's eyes turned cold: "You'd better not let me see her again!"
Yan Zuozuo lowered her eyes and muttered softly, "She's probably going to be sent abroad and not allowed to come back." After a pause, she asked in confusion, "I have no grudge against Fu Zixin, why does she hate me so much?"
"Don't overthink it, I'll tell you tomorrow," Chi Moqing said, holding her hand.
Yan Zuozuo nodded, knowing that Chi Moqing was a man of his word and would never let her down.
They were shopping when Chi Moqing's phone rang. It was his mother, who sounded somewhat unhappy. "Moqing, what's wrong with you? I asked Xinyu to be your secretary, and you actually transferred her to the front desk. The work is tiring and doesn't pay much. How am I supposed to explain this to your aunt?"
Chi Moqing felt a headache coming on when he heard Meng Xinyu's name: "Mom, I'll talk to you about this when I get back tomorrow. I only have one thing to say: I absolutely do not want a pretty face who can only swoon over girls as my secretary."
Chi's mother was speechless for a moment, then silently hung up the line.
Yan Zuozuo looked at him with a half-smile: "What's going on?"
Chi Moqing hugged Yan Zuozuo with a wronged expression, his voice muffled, "Wife, you must save me tomorrow, otherwise, I'll definitely be driven crazy by some infatuated girl."
Yan Zuozuo was dumbfounded. There was something that President Chi couldn't handle?
"Cousin... really likes pretty boys?" Yan Zuozuo asked cautiously. She had heard Chi Moqing mention Meng Xinyu a little, but she didn't know much about her.
Chi Moqing hummed twice and said, "It's not just that I like it, it's that I really like it, the kind that makes my mouth water!"
Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched. He suddenly wanted to say, "Why don't we not go back? Your wife can't handle this kind of deeply infatuated girl."
After a moment of contemplation, unsure whether she was comforting Chi Moqing or herself, Yan Zuozuo said, "Mom has always been very understanding. If she knew that her cousin was like this, she wouldn't blame you. It's alright, it's alright."
“Wrong!” Chi Moqing frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, “Mom only has one sister, my eldest aunt, and they’ve always had a very good relationship. She might be able to distinguish right from wrong with others, but when it comes to my eldest aunt, she’s absolutely protective of her own!”
His certainty immediately made Yan Zuozuo's eyebrows twitch. Would he die a terrible death tomorrow?
She suddenly pouted and joked, "My cousin loves looking at handsome men so much, and she'll get scolded by Mom anyway. Why don't you just transfer her to clean the toilets? That way, it won't be a loss." Even handsome men need to use the toilet sometimes.
Chi Moqing was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing, "My wife is truly thoughtful, insightful, and has unique perspectives."
Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes. What does this have to do with ideological content?
The next morning, Yan Zuozuo got ready and made breakfast, waiting to see the baby later. Not long after, Chi Moqing returned from his exercise, carrying a small red booklet.
When Yan Zuozuo called him to eat, she saw him place the little red book in front of her and tell her to keep it safe.
Yan Zuozuo didn't pay much attention and walked inside with the little red book, intending to lock it in the safe. But she hadn't taken two steps when she suddenly exclaimed, "Chi Moqing, husband!"
Chi Moqing walked over with a half-smile: "What's wrong?"
"You, you, you actually... wrote my name..." She stammered.
Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow, looking completely at ease, "You're my wife, whose name should be on the property deed if not yours?"
Yan Zuozuo was completely dumbfounded: "Three...three places?"
You have to understand, the villas they live in are incredibly expensive, and with the renovations and other miscellaneous costs, it easily adds up to tens of millions. She was already terrified that one villa was registered in her name, so how did she suddenly end up with two more?
“Yes, there are three buildings.” Chi Moqing wasn’t surprised at all. He reached out and touched her frightened little face. “You have two sons, so each of them should have a building.”
It's a bonus, definitely not for my son. But to avoid her overthinking, Chi Moqing deliberately didn't make it clear.
Sure enough, Yan Zuozuo had her own thoughts, "But your son is still young, isn't it too early to prepare? Besides, shouldn't we raise our son frugally? This is too extravagant."
Oh my god, let her do the math! These three properties must cost at least a hundred or two hundred million yuan. It's so extravagant!
Chi Moqing smiled, gently tapped her nose, and then said, "It's worth it."
His wife is worth far more than 200 million; she's priceless.
Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched, realizing that her previous worries about Chi Moqing not liking their son were completely pointless. Given how much this man doted on his son, wouldn't he give them the best of everything in the world?
Chi Moqing smiled but remained silent. He wasn't spoiling his son; he was spoiling his wife. Let her continue to think that way, lest she have trouble sleeping at night.
"Go and put it away quickly so we can have breakfast together. It's time to go see the baby," Chi Moqing said.
Yan Zuozuo was still in a daze. Two hundred million yuan, just like that, registered in her name. Wasn't the pie too big? She felt like she was about to be hit by a falling rock.
During the meal, she still felt that this was not a good idea, so she said, "Chi Moqing, let's keep it in your name. I'm worried that someone will steal it tonight."
Chi Moqing's eyes softened: "That's what you deserve, but I have enough for you."
Yan Zuozuo felt a warm, touching sensation in her heart, and was speechless for a moment. After a long while, she said softly, "I'm not worth two hundred million."
Chi Moqing laughed loudly: "Fool, to me, you can't be measured in money. Be a good girl and accept it, understand?"
Yan Zuozuo still felt like she was dreaming; she had become a multi-millionaire in no time, and not even with ghost money—it was simply too shocking.
Chi Moqing found her expression amusing, reached out and pinched her cheek, laughing as he said, "My wife is rich now, and I feel so insecure. What should I do?"
Huh? Yan Zuozuo was puzzled.
